A compelling look at the major changes in store as America
faces increasing competition from two emerging Asian giants. In the streets of India, camels pull carts loaded with
construction materials, and monkeys race across roads,
dodging cars. In China, men in Mao jackets pedal bicycles
along newly built highways, past skyscrapers sprouting like
bamboo. Yet exotic India is as near as the voice answering
an 800 number for one dollar an hour. Communist China is as
close as the nearest Wal-Mart, its shelves full of goods
made in Chinese factories. Not since the United States rose to prominence a century ago
have we seen such tectonic shifts in global power; but India
and China are vastly different nations, with opposing
economic and political strategies—strategies we must
understand in order to survive in the new global economy.
The Elephant and the Dragon tells how these two Asian
nations, each with more than a billion people, have spurred
a new "gold rush," and what this will mean for the rest of
the world.
